These access data are evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer.

Use of Facebook services

Use of Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel within the framework of the technologies of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Block J, Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Facebook (by Meta)" or "Meta Platforms Ireland") as described below. With the Facebook Pixel, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or newsletter registration) is automatically collected and stored, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Within the framework of so-called extended data matching, information for matching purposes is also collected and stored in hashed form, with which individuals can be identified (e.g., names, email addresses and phone numbers). For this purpose, when you visit our website, the Facebook Pixel automatically sets a cookie that automatically enables your browser to be recognized by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID when visiting other websites. Facebook (by Meta) will combine this information with other data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage, in particular personalized and group-based advertising.
The information about your use of our website automatically collected by Facebook (by Meta) technologies is usually transferred to a server of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA and stored there. Further information about data processing by Facebook can be found in the Facebook (by Meta) privacy policy.

Facebook Ads (Ads Manager)

Through Facebook Ads, we advertise this website on Facebook (by Meta) and on other platforms. We determine the parameters of the respective advertising campaign. Facebook (by Meta) is responsible for the exact implementation, in particular the decision on the placement of ads for individual users. Unless otherwise stated for individual technologies, data processing takes place on the basis of an agreement between jointly responsible parties in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. The joint responsibility is limited to the collection of data and its transmission to Meta Platforms Ireland. The subsequent data processing by Meta Platforms Ireland is not covered by this.

Based on the statistics on visitor activities on our website created via Facebook Pixel, we run group-based advertising on Facebook (by Meta) via Facebook Custom Audience by determining the characteristics of the respective target group.
